I haven’t tried this yet, but does anyone know if I turn the Pebble off, does that mean the solar panel is also turned off? Just wondering, because I’m about to put it in storage tomorrow and it’s gonna be open air, so I’m hoping I can get it charged.
We keep our Pebble in our driveway. We often turn it on when the sun hits the trailer just so it can charge, then shut it down again in the evening, because the Pebble, when on, still uses some power and will vampire some of your solar gains.
It would be nice to have a software setting for this. My spouse becomes crazy running around in the morning: “Oh, the sun is out! I have to go wake up the Pebble!” Fortunately, at this point, it is still a fun novelty. Eventually, it will become an annoying chore.
Tesla Magic Dock chargers will work, I have heard. I don't find many of those, so haven't been able to check.
Where can we send some feature requests?
I assume the support email. I don't think they have a suggestion box yet.
Pebble staff read the forums. I can confirm, from various conversations, that the things we talk about here were known to them.
Submit a service request. It gets logged and tracked, although the tracking is not available to owners. I’ve had several improvements implemented this way.
Thank you—does anyone know if we can charge the Pebble at a Supercharger?
Now that's a loaded question, and the answer is... it depends!
Not Tesla Superchargers, not yet. But they say it's in the works. Not stations that use Alpitronic 400 chargers like IONNA's and some BP Pulse chargers, and some EVgo chargers.
We've tried four EVgo chargers: two worked on the Pebble and two did not. I have been trying to document what works and doesn't work in the fast-charging thread.
We have had good luck charging at Rivian Adventure Network chargers and Electrify America chargers.
Oh, I just noticed you said Supercharger, and that usually means Tesla. I always forget that they aren't all superchargers.
Yes, Pebble needs to be awake for the solar to charge the battery, unfortunately.
